Chapter 460 Little Sadness
Li Tong's fingers gently pressed the scab that was slightly white and seemed to be raised but not raised. His nails picked the scab edge. As long as he picked it gently, the scab would probably fall off.
"It's so pitiful." Li Tong said slowly.
"I finally got through it." Ning Yuan looked brave and strong, "Do you have any food? I've been busy for a day and haven't had a good meal yet."
Perhaps because the room was too warm, Ning Yuan felt that he was so hungry that he was just covering his chest with his back. He didn’t eat much in the morning, and only drank at noon and had no appetite for dinner. He was hungry now.
"Get two plates of snacks." Li Tong ordered Lumei.
"No need to have snacks, it's too troublesome. Just make me a few side dishes, just like last time, and serve a bowl of soup, rice and steamed buns. I won't pick it. Also, it would be even better if there was the last warm-up pot." Before Li Tong finished speaking, Ning Yuan hurriedly took it.
Lu Mei wanted to roll his eyes a few times. Which one is the trouble? Li Tong was so amused and crying. He hesitated to face Lu Mei's inquiring gaze, nodded, Lu Mei withdrew, asked Qingju to come in and serve him, and then called Wen Zhu to go to the kitchen to make a "no trouble" soup and dish hot pot with the ready-made snacks.
"Isn't it gone this morning? Why are you so busy that you don't even have to eat?" Li Tong looked at Ning Yuan with some confusion and asked. After being guarded for a month, at least today, everyone went back to their own houses, washed clean and had a full meal, and had a good sleep.
"Although my sister doesn't let the assassin's affairs be heard, I have to find out who did it, and I always have to know what to do. I have to find Saturday to drink and talk to Tantan." Ning Yuan's face did not change his expression.
"Yeah." Li Tong responded, not following these words. She knew less than more of these things. Now she already knows too much.
"It's the Duke of Sui Guo Mansion." Ning Yuan's body slid down again, slid to a very comfortable and unimportant state. "According to my guess, the idea was produced by Deputy Privy Councillor Zhou. He should be the one in the hands of Duke of Sui Guo."
Ning Yuan laughed a few times, "This pair of brothers is intrigued by the boss, and the boss is banned by the high wall. Duke Sui must be anxious to show his loyalty to the prince. Deputy Privy Councillor Zhou must want the people in his brother's hands, and if he can't take them, he will die."
Li Tong looked at Ning Yuan, thought of Empress Ning, and sighed secretly. The Zhou family had been peaceful for too long and had gained power for too long. He had forgotten how dangerous and terrible it was to fight for power. The Zhou family, I don’t know how many years it can last. According to the past, the emperor’s life span was not many years, but this time, there were too many variables, who knows?
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Li Tong being stunned, Ning Yuan raised his hand and shook it in front of Li Tong.
"It's nothing. For decades, the Zhou family has always been lucky." Li Tong thought about the Zhou family in the past and later. Although there was no Queen Mother Zhou and Concubine Zhou, and although it was not the eldest prince and the fourth prince sitting on the dragon throne, the favor of Queen Mother Yang and the emperor to the Zhou family was no worse than now. It was really good luck.
"Hmph!" Ning Yuan sneered, "It's a few decades ahead, but forget it later. Since I, Ning Yuan, have arrived in the capital, the fortune of the Zhou family will come to an end."
After pausing, Ning Yuan's voice was obviously low, "I have eleven of my people. Those I brought to the capital are all brothers who have experienced many battles and have experienced many lifetimes."
Ning Yuan leaned back on the back of the chair, "Old Hao is 40 years old after the New Year. Last year, he planned to celebrate his birthday forty. He said that it is not easy for a person like him to live to live forty."
Li Tong felt sorry for hearing this.
"And Lao Zhao, I have been suppressing bandits in Beisan Road for so many years, and I fell into his trap. If my elder brother hadn't been following me at that time, he would have killed me. Since then, he has been following me for almost ten years." Ning Yuan lowered his head.
"Shen Da Shen followed me since I was six years old. He built a small village outside Ding'an City. Over the years, he bought hundreds of acres of land one after another. He planned to retire at the age of forty and live in his small village. During the busy farming period, he looked at his hundreds of acres of land, and drank wine and listened to operas everywhere when he was free."
The more Ning Yuan said, his voice became lower and lower. Li Tong brewed a cup of tea and handed it to him, "The deceased is gone, don't think too much."
"Well, I feel sad." Ning Yuan's eyes were filled with tears. "When I was a child, I went to fight with my father and celebrated Dasheng. If my father got drunk, he would sit alone and shed tears. At that time, I didn't know why my father cried, but later I knew."
"Don't think about these things. Queen Ning returned to the capital and there was still a fifth brother. She hadn't seen each other for half a year. The fifth brother seemed to have grown a little taller." Li Tong was dismayed and changed the subject and didn't want him to talk about it again.
"Yes, I finally took my elder sister back." Ning Yuan took a deep breath and changed the topic according to Li Tong's words, "Is Xiaowu taller? I didn't see it. It's a pity that the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year can't be seen."
Ning Yuan looked annoyed, "I have heard about how the Lantern Festival in the capital is lively. This is a Lantern Festival in the front of the capital! Xiaowu and I can't see it anymore. It's said that the Lantern Festival in the Yuan Dynasty, and the whole capital is like moving the Milky Way down. It's so beautiful?"
"Well, I think it's better than the Milky Way in the sky. If it weren't for this funeral, it would be the most lively time. Especially tomorrow, the emperor would have fun with the people in Xuande Tower. As long as he could walk, he would have to come out to see the lights and turn on the lights. There were lights everywhere in the capital, all kinds of lights were floating in all rivers in the city. Standing on the bridge, the Milky Way had fallen. Inside and outside the capital, shops and restaurants of all sizes were all lively, guessing riddles, archery throwing pots, and lottery tickets were from tens of thousands to several big money. They were lively until the dawn of the next day. They were in good spirits and went out to the city for a trip as soon as the sky was dawn. How could the Milky Way in the sky be so lively?"
Li Tong's eyes were filled with nostalgia. These lively memories from her as a girl and the memories from decades later, mixed together, chaotic and clear.
Ning Yuan stared at Li Tong with a blank look, her eyes shining brightly. At this moment, she looked like a green tree standing silently, suddenly blooming with flowers, making him dazzling.
Li Tong sighed softly, "I can't see it this year."
"Let's go and see the lights tomorrow." Ning Yuan suddenly invited, "Although there is no lights this year, can you take a look first? Let's go and see it first. Tell me where there are good scenery and what's lively in previous years. Let's step on it first and look good next year."
"Tread it?" Li Tong smiled, "Are you going to rob?"
"I'm an expert in robbing you! I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon, that's it!" Ning Yuan happily slapped the armrest of the chair.
